«Los silencios de África» is the travel book by Peter Matthiessen, published by Ediciones Península in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
In 1978 and 1986, Peter Matthiessen travelled through Senegal, Gambia, Ivory Coast, Zaire and the Central African Republic. From these journeys comes a chronicle that combines travel writing and naturalist observation: it recreates African forests and savannas and follows the trail of threatened species such as elephants, gorillas and rhinoceroses.
«Los silencios de África» is number 12 in the Viajes collection and is translated by Ángela Pérez Gómez.
For adult readers interested in travel literature and in observing African wildlife and landscapes.
Peter Matthiessen was an American novelist, naturalist, wilderness writer, zen teacher, and onetime CIA agent. A co-founder of the literary magazine The Paris Review, he is the only writer to have won the National Book Award in both nonfiction and fiction. He was also a prominent environmental activist.
